They are round hard plastic or ceramic "donuts" that go around your sprinkler head. They protect your sprinkler head from breaking off from the lawn mower. They cost about $1 each. You can install yourself, (which is simple but laborous as you need to cut out the grass around each sprinkler head) or have your lawn service/landscaper do it. We had our lawn service do it and they charged us $2 each which included the cost of the donut and installation.
